It’s ok, not as good as my last one
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Cleans well. Doesn’t dry as well as expected. Front handle and panel feel cheap. Racks are squeaky when pulled out and pushed in. Don’t love the configuration of the lower rack. Other than plates, dishes don’t sit securely in lower rack.Doesn’t seem to be the same quality as the last Bosch dishwasher I had.

    Outstanding Dishwasher – Highly Recommend!
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We've been extremely happy with our Bosch 300 Series dishwasher. It cleans dishes exceptionally well, even with heavily soiled pots, pans, and baked-on food, and everything comes out spotless. The dishwasher is remarkably quiet, so it's easy to run at any time without disturbing the household. The interior is thoughtfully designed, making it easy to load a variety of dishes, glasses, and cookware. The drying performance is excellent, and the different wash cycles provide flexibility for everything from delicate glassware to heavily used kitchen items. Overall, the Bosch 300 Series combines outstanding cleaning performance, quiet operation, energy efficiency, and high-quality construction. It has been a reliable addition to our kitchen, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a dependable, well-designed dishwasher.

      Best Dishwasher!
      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We replaced a dishwasher in our home and were very impressed with the user friendly and ultra clean dishes and utensils that our Bosch provided.

        Amazing
        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We just bought our first Bosch dishwasher. I would highly recommend it. It is so quiet, I didn't realize the dishwasher was finished. The shine on our dishes was wonderful. I will tell you the top (silverware) drawer is a game-changer. We get really clean dishes, and the silverware isn't water spotted, and because of the way you have to separate it, the silverware comes out cleaner and spotless.

              I love my new Bosch!
              The Bosch SHE43DM5N is an outstanding choice for anyone seeking a premium yet practical dishwasher without the top-tier premium. It excels in the areas that matter most—quietness, cleaning power, capacity, and reliability. If you’re tired of noisy, mediocre dishwashers that leave residue or demand pre-rinsing, this model is a worthy investment that will make kitchen cleanup genuinely enjoyable. Highly recommended!

                Flexible easy clean dishes
                [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to stack and use. Just hit the reset button and then your cycle. Adding detergent and rinse is easy. The app is there if you want to start the cycle while you are gone.

                  Does Not Live Up to Bosch Engineering Standards: Leaves Dishes Wet at end of the Drying Cycle
                  Very disappointed. This dishwasher does not live up to the Bosch standards for good engineering. Too bad. I've always been a fan. In an effort to save money, Bosch when to what they call a "condensation" drying method. Unless you select the longest time and hottest heat cycle, the dishes will come out wet at the end of the drying cycle. The method results in a terrible waste of water and electricity and takes a very long time to wash a load of dishes.

                    Bosch 300 SHE43DM5N
                    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like the Bosch 300 dishwasher. It easy to start and reset. It cleans real good and is very quiet. It was recommended by my oldest daughter.

                      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We finally decided to splurge and buy the dishwasher everyone said is 'so much better'. Everyone was Right! Our dishes are actually CLEAN and dry! OMGosh! So THIS is what dishes are suppose to look like when they are finished in a dishwasher! So glad we finally got a Bosch!

                        While it took some time to learn "the best way to..." I absolutely love this dishwasher. I find myself looking forward to loading and turning it on! Go figure! It's quite and does a fabulous job cleaning. The tutorial videos are super helpful.

                          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This dishwasher does a great job of getting all the dishes clean and it is extremely quiet, which is so nice compared to other dishwashers I have owned.

                            Fantastic Dishwasher
                            The Bosch dishwasher has 3 shelves which offer more space plus the top shelf accommodates silverware and other long utensils allowing the utensil holder to be removed for even more space. The tilted spines help the water drain and the dishes dry more thoroughly.

                              Almost perfect
                              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There's a lot to like about this dishwasher. I've owned five dishwasher brands in 25 years as a homeowner, and this one produces the best cleaning results of them all. It is easy to install and use, and the app is generally useful with reminders. The auto setting does what it's supposed to do - who wants to try and figure out the right setting for their dishes? The remote start seems unnecessary, though. One thing I really like is that previous dishwashers would build up a layer of sludge at the bottom under the door. I guess it's difficult to engineer a tight door seal and keep that area clean. This one does not have that problem, making it genuinely more sanitary. The only reason I'm giving this four stars is that the interior space is noticeably smaller than previous dishwashers. Making things even tighter is that third rack. Even reasonable-sized drinking glasses won't fit the top rack when the third rack is in, so we had to remove it. You can drop the top rack down, but if you do that, then plates don't fit in the bottom rack, so that's not a possibility. If Bosch made the top rack drop down just a little bit less in the alternate position, it would help a lot.

                                [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our new Bosch dishwasher is excellent. We appreciate the 3rd rack which works great for sorting the silverware for easy removal and placement in the drawer which frees up more space in the bottom rack since you don't need the utensil tray.

                                    Bad Silverware Basket Design
                                    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Good: Cleans Great! Even dried on Avacado and Egg Yolk. The Not So Good: Like all modern dishwashers, it doesn't dry very well. The Very Bad: The design of the Silverware Basket being short and wide interferes with loading large plates and the tines face in opposite directions which makes it worse.

                                      Horrible Smell
                                      I took me forever to figure out where the terrible smell was coming from. I even had a Bosch certified appliance guy out. Finally I asked AI. If you leave dirty dishes in the machine for more than a day the moisture trapped in the dishwasher combine with scraps of food is a bacteria lab. Apparently Bosch uses some different drying system that leaves moisture in the unit. The work around is keeping something that cracks the door open so air can get in. It looks dumb. Wish I would have know, I would have bought another model.

                                            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We are not happy with the fact that it stays wet inside the dishwasher for many hours after the dishes are dried and removed. We are not happy with the jet dry dispenser. Difficult to fill and you never know when it is realy filled or needs filling. The silverware tray is not very useful and too small. We like how quiet the machine is when it is running.

I love my new Bosch!! I really like the third shelf for silverware. I like how it fits in so neatly and is out of the way yet it all gets clean. There seems to be more room to fit more dishes. I like the set up for loading the two big shelves, definitely more room. And it is so quiet!!
